Ridhima Dilawari survived a chaotic final round to win the second leg of the Hero Women’s Pro Golf Tour at Kalhaar Blues & Greens, edging amateur Zara Anand by one shot.

Leading by four after two rounds, Dilawari appeared in control until a quadruple bogey on the par-4 10th blew the tournament open. She steadied herself late, signed for a five-over 77, and finished even-par 216 to seal her 14th career Hero WPGT title — and her first win since last July.

Zara closed with a 74 to take second at one-over 217, while 2025 Order of Merit winner Vani Kapoor shot a 72 to finish third at two-over 218.

The victory also lifted Dilawari to the top of the Hero Order of Merit with ₹4.00 lakh in earnings. Jasmine Shekar, winner of the opening leg, slipped to second on ₹2.30 lakh after a difficult week that ended in 18th.

Sneha Singh, Lavanya Gupta and Jahanvi Bakshi shared fourth, with Nayanika Sanga, Amandeep Drall and Lavanya Jadon next in line.

The tour moves to Pune for the third leg from February 9–12 at Oxford Golf Resort.
